Settings for Inventory Statistics

(MMS002/G)

History storage method

… if and how stock transactions are stored in the stock transaction history file. The valid alternatives are:

0 = No storage. No item statistics will be updated, and no financial transactions created.

1 = Detailed storage.

2 = Accumulated storage on daily level per order and transaction type.

3 = Accumulated storage on daily level per transaction type.

For alternatives 2 and 3, all receipts are stored on a detail level (as for alternative 1).

(MMS002/G)

Statistical storage group

… how the inventory statistics are to be saved.

The code is defined in a separate table and can be specified for each item/warehouse.

(CRS255/B)

Statistical storage group

… how the inventory statistics are to be saved.

The code is defined in a separate table and can be specified for each item/warehouse.

(CRS255/E)

Period range

… which system period interval applies during accumulation of inventory statistics.

Example:

If the number of periods per year is 12 and the interval entered is 3, statistics will be gathered for periods 3, 6, 9 and 12. Accordingly, if the interval is 6, statistics will be gathered period 6 and 12. Observe that this also controls the period interval of the forecast component.

(CRS255/E)

Number of years

… the number of years system period statistics should be saved. For example, value 02 means that the current and previous years' statistics should be saved.

(CRS255/E)

Number of cumulative years

… the number of years cumulative stock statistics should be saved. For example, value 02 means that the current and previous years' statistics should be saved.

(MMS010/F)

Transaction statistics

… a code specified for each location. It determines how statistics for stock transactions should be created.

The valid alternatives are:

0 = No

1 = Yes, annually

2 = Yes, for each period.

(CRS716/E)

Summary key

… the type of key to be used when summing up inventory statistics.

The valid alternatives are:

01 = Item type

02 = Item group

03 = Product group

04 = Cost reference

05 = Responsible planner

06 = ABC volume

07 = ABC frequency

08 = ABC contribution

09 = Manual ABC class

10 = Stock zone.

Statistics can only be displayed if they are first summed up in a period run. In the parameter program

'Settings - Summary Inventory Stats' (CRS716), it is determined whether aggregation should be performed. Alternatives 01 – 04 are defined by item and 05 – 10 by item per warehouse.

(MNS100/F)

Period type MPM

… which period type, 1–5, is to be used in M3 MPM. Up to five different period types can be defined using 'System Calendar. Open Period' (CRS910). For each application, specify the period type.

(MNS100/F)

Number of period types 1

… the number of periods per year is included in a period type.

(CRS910/B)

Period type

… a key identity in the period table, which enables working simultaneously with up to five different period divisions. For each record in the system calendar, you can see that the day is connected to one of five different period types. Besides the five period types, period type 9 can be defined. It is used in the forecast component to enable forecasting item numbers per week.

Example:

If you use period type 1 to define accounting periods and period type 2 to define payroll periods that differ from the accounting periods, you must specify in the company file that the accounting system is to use period type 1 and that the payroll system is to use period type 2. However, if the same period type is to be used for both accounting and payroll this should be entered in the company file.
